Rifugio Averau is a family run, high-mountain restaurant. Located on a ridge within the 5 Torri ski area above Cortina d'Ampezzo. It has commanding southerly views of Civetta and Marmolada and Tofana di Rozes to the north.

You will always find Sandro, his wife Paola, eldest son Matteo and daughter Margot behind the bar, taking orders and welcoming guests.

'Averau' has won many Italian and international awards for their refined, traditional dishes. Try the "cappelli d'alpino" or the "Cialsons" dish from Friuli prepared by chef Paola. And for dessert, try the delicious Prosecco cake with Amaretti. Personally by Sandro.

Wherever possible, you will have a private bedroom with en suite facilities. However, rifugi sell beds, not rooms and it is likely that you will have to share a room with fellow members of your Dolomites Ski Safari.
